  • Patent number: 11967033
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for rendering visual artifacts in virtual worlds using machine learning models. An example method generally includes identifying, based on a machine learning model and a streaming natural language input, an intent associated with the streaming natural language input; generating, based on the identified intent associated with the streaming natural language input, one or more virtual objects for rendering in a virtual environment displayed on one or more displays of an electronic device; and rendering the generated one or more virtual objects in the virtual environment.

  • Publication number: 20220117812
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a patient support surface, a plurality of caster wheels supporting the patient support surface on a floor or ground surface, a brake for manually braking at least one caster wheel of the plurality of caster wheels, and a handle or pedal for manually operating the brake, with the handle or pedal at least having a brake position. The patient support apparatus also includes an electrical actuator configured to couple to the brake and to selectively output a driving force and a user interface in communication with the electrical actuator. In response to input at the user interface, the electrical actuator generating the driving force to actuate the brake to thereby brake the at least one caster wheel, and wherein the driving force of the actuator moves the handle or pedal to the brake positon when the actuator actuates the manually operable brake to brake the caster wheel.

  • Patent number: 9539156
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a deck, a plurality of side rails, a control panel, and a plurality of subsystems, such as a bed exit system that detects when a patient may exit from the support apparatus, or a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the deck. A controller is in communication with the control panel and is adapted to monitor conditions regarding the side rails and/or the other subsystems. At least one lamp is also provided on the patient support apparatus that is adapted to be illuminated in a first manner when a plurality of monitored conditions remain in a desired state, and in a second manner when at least one of the plurality of monitored conditions changes to an undesired state.
